Values are motivational goals that reflect what is important in life. They give meaning to the things we do.

In fact, and fortunately for our society, people differ widely in terms of their value priorities.

About The Values Project
About The Values Project
The Values Project is a joint initiative between Pureprofile, The University of Western Australia and the Australian Research Council. The data from our research positively impacts our understanding of each other as Australians, and as global citizens. It also makes a powerful contribution to the way brands communicate to consumers and the development and delivery of values-aligned products and services.
The aim of The Values Project
In order to examine the complex relationships between people’s values and their behaviours, the specific aims of The Values Project are outlined below:
- Build an interactive online values survey to help people understand their own values and provide insight to our survey respondents
- Create basic knowledge about Australian societal and individual values;
- Understand how values change across the adult lifespan;
- Understand how values relate to behaviour across the adult lifespan
- Help Australian businesses and institutions better serve the needs of their employees and customers through a deeper understanding of societal and individual values.
